Technical Implementation

Built with Flutter focusing on image optimization and smooth performance:

• REST API integration for wallpaper sources (Unsplash, Pexels, etc.)
• Advanced image caching for fast loading and reduced bandwidth
• Lazy loading and pagination for efficient memory management
• Native platform channels for wallpaper setting functionality
• Download manager with progress tracking

Challenges & Solutions

Handling large high-resolution images efficiently required implementing progressive image loading and multi-resolution caching strategies to balance quality and performance.

Setting wallpapers across different Android versions and devices was solved by using platform channels with proper permission handling and fallback mechanisms.
